Answer:x = -1.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
7x + -9x = 3
Combine like terms: 7x + -9x = -2x
-2x = 3
Solving
-2x = 3
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Divide each side by '-2'.
x = -1.5
Simplifying
x = -1.5
Answer:
10/18 and 20/36
Step-by-step explanation:
Mean is average. Multiply total books by the mean to find the total cost:
5x 10 = $50 total.
Subtract the highest and lowest prices to find the total of the remaining 3 books.
50 - 15-6 = 29
The median price was 8, this is the middle number, subtract 8 from 29 to get the cost of the last 2 books:
29-8 =21
Now you need a price lower than the median but higher than the lowest cost so that has to be 7
Subtract 7 from 21 to get the cost of the last book 21-7 = 14
The price of the remaining books is $7 and $14
Let r represent reptiles
210=3r-120
330=3r
110=r
110 reptiles
First, we are going to find the common ratio of our geometric sequence using the formula:

. For our sequence, we can infer that

and

. So lets replace those values in our formula:


Now that we have the common ratio, lets find the explicit formula of our sequence. To do that we are going to use the formula:

. We know that

; we also know for our previous calculation that

. So lets replace those values in our formula:

Finally, to find the 9th therm in our sequence, we just need to replace

with 9 in our explicit formula:



We can conclude that the 9th term in our geometric sequence is <span>
